PETALING JAYA: Police investigations into the disappearance of MH370 will likely zoom in on whether Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah had practised landings on his home flight simulator at airports located in the two vast tracts of territory where the search is focused.
A pilot trainer with experience flying the Boeing 777-200 said off-the-shelf simulators such as the one Zaharie set up in his home could help a pilot familiarise himself with any airport in the two arcs that stretch from the southern part of the Indian Ocean up north to Kazakhstan.
